Abstract

The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) in Tallahassee, Florida, USA, continues research and development of transverse field magnets (with the field perpendicular to the access tube). Presently, the emphasis is on a novel approach with concentric nested coils tilted at an angle to the central axis; current flows in opposite directions within the coils at opposite tilt angle, generating a transverse dipole field. Superconducting tilted coils using wire-wound technology and resistive tilted coils using advanced technology are being examined. Some very preliminary, conceptual designs and magnetic field calculations are presented. Related problems, including behavior under the Lorentz forces are discussed briefly.
